Lost amid the headlines of America’s crusades in Central Asia, one of the longest running civil wars in the world grinds on. The situation in Colombia is grim. For over forty years, a desperate armed resistance has struggled against an oligarchic government and its ruthless policies. Typically, the struggle has created refugees fleeing factional violence and government-sponsored death squads.

Amparo Torres, declared a refugee by both the United Nations High Commission for Refugees and Canadian immigration when she arrived in 1996 suddenly finds herself accused of association with a “terrorist” organization, and so eligible, under Canada’s new “terrorism” laws, for “repatriation” to her native Colombia.

Nchamah Miller is a political science Ph D candidate at York University and is the chair of the Committee to Support Amparo Torres’ Rights. Nchamah Miller and seeing justice done in the first half.

And; Last week, the Western Canada Wilderness Committee launched its ‘Write and Rally for Vancouver Island’ campaign, an effort to pressure the provincial government to protect more than the meagre 13% of wild habitat levels they are currently proposing.

In the second half, “live” from the weekend’s Write and Rally rally.

And; Janine Bandcroft will be here at the bottom of the hour to bring us up to speed with all that’s good to do in and around Victoria this week.

But first, Nchamah Miller and Canada, taking back refuge from the storm.
